KATHERINE JANE BURKHART
Miss Catherine Jane Burkhart,
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. C.
Burkhart, prepared and delivered
the fourth in a series of five com
mencement speeches to be publish
ed by the Banner-Herald.
Miss Burkhart is very popular
with the high school students and
also ranks high scholastically. She
has been outstanding in dramatic
and scientific studies in schooi and
numbers among her acquaintances
a wide cirele of friends.
Her speech, enfitled “Who's
Afraid?”’, follows:
Friends, baffling problems con
front us today. Have we the cour
age to face them?
Courage is the foundation of
all our virtues. We need courage
if we are to have justice and self
control, unselfishness and honesty,
forgiveness and mercy. Courage
brings us a vision, a fajth, and a
love deeper than any mortal
adoration.
We have been told that the old
fighting valor has decayed; that
wealth has destroyed the roots of
it: that education has choked it;
that books in the brain have eaten
out the fire of the blood. We have
had too many pillows and .cush
jions. The heroic temper of the
ancient Greeks and Romnas is
dving or dead. So say the cynics
But the weynics are always
wrong. Courage never dies out ot
the humag heart—not the true
courage, the kind that runs decp
and still. We may not always
show our physical bravery, but
imbedded in our nature is some
thing better, a type which is
higher and nobler; a true noral
courage. It does not belong to any
race or class. Life has proved‘
this. Life has shown that in every‘
country, city, and town there are‘
boys and girls made of the samel
material as the heroes of song
and story. |
During the World war the boys
at Verdun showed magnificent
physical heroism as they = stood
face to face with the .mightiest
military engine ever constructed
by the genius of men.
Edith Cavell is another superb
example of physical resoluteness.
Military courage is fine but it is
not fine enough. It is heroic, but
it is not heroic enough.
The spirit and fidelity with
which Walter Reed faced the
dangers of yellow fever, to cleanse
the wrold of the dreaded disease,
is still greater. !
In Albert Schweitzer we see a
brilliant intellect, coupled with an
unfaltering belief in eomradeship
with God. When all Europe was
calling him, he gave up his ca
reer as an organist to go to
Africa to be a dogtor to the ig
norant blacks. This was because
he had a strong manly courage
Which he had received from a
Higher Being. Some day' the
world will say to us, “Come with
me; all the world is doing it.”
Will we have the couyrage to say,
“No,” to do what our higher self
says do?
Today working in Japan is one
of the bravest, most valiant men

INSULTED “GABBIES™
STRIKE IN CAPITAL
Washington Taxi Opera
tors Quit Durine Con
vention of Shriners
WASHINGTON — (AP) — De
claring they had been “insulted,”
hundreds of taxi cab drivers went
on strike today in the midst of a
national conclave of Shriners which
taxed the transportation facilities
of the capital to the utmost.
Leaders said the driverg were
protesting against “insults” flung
at them in connection with the
handling of the Shrine traffic. They
expressed resentment at a publish
ed statement by William A. Roberts,
people’s counsel of the District of
Columbia, informing Shrine dele
gates that taxi drivers could not
charge them more than zone rates.
The drivers declared Roberts'
statement made it appear that they
had been trying to “gouge” the
visitors while they had no inten
tion of doing so.
With 100,000 visitors pouring inte
town to watch the elaborate cere
monies and festivities of the 61st
annual convention of the Ancient
Arabic Order of Nobles of the Myse
tic Shrine, authoritieg feared a ses~
rious situation might develop.
There are about 4,000 cabs 'in
town, and it was feared that a, large
proportion of them would be in
volved in the strike, although au
thorities had no figures immedi
ately.
Among the ranks of the strikers
it wag said that megaphones along
gayly-decorated Pennsylvania ave
nue had broadcast warnings last
night against cab drivers.
Resentment also was expressed

for anyone with a certain word
“One may bé an advocate of
Christianity without knowing
Christ,” he said. ‘“But the faith of

Three things are necessary ‘2
play the part of the religioas wit

“Knowledge is the first essen

have personal experience of that
which he testifies. The advocate
knows about God; the witness
knows God.”
Courage and ‘“the expression of

FUSHED IN SENATE
OVER “ROCKY ROAD®
Many Senators Want to
Block Relaxation of
Anti-Trust Laws
COST IS ANNOUNCED
Democrats Make Effort to
Push NRA Through to
Passage This Week
WASHINGTON. —()—Along a
path made rough bv senators who
want to make relaxation of the
anti-trust laws a legal impossibil
ity, Democratic leaders sought te
day to push the stopgap NRA plan
toward enactment before next
week-end.
- If the plan should not be passed
this week, the remnants of the re
covery law which the Supreme
court left when it struck down
the vast code structure would au
tomatically expire at midnight
next Sunday night.
Then the leaders would have to
start all over again by drafting a
new law in lieu of the present
legislation, which is merely a
resolution repealing some parts of
the oold NIRA and continuing
others.
Twin Worry
A twin worry for the adminis
tration leaders, in = addition to
NRA, was the softcoal crisis, in
which a strike call to 450,000 men
is impending for next Monday
‘unless the ' problem is solved.
However, leaders saw hope of a
sclution in an announcement by
Charles O’'Neill, chairman of the
Bituminous Coal Producers’ legis
lative committee, that the commit
tee had reached an accord with
the United Mine Workers on a
proposed revision of the Guffey
coal stabilization bill.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.—(#)—Frank
O. Lowden, former governor of

Talk of constitutional amend

by the Supreme Court’s NRA de
cision, J.owden called “a challenge
to the essentials of our form of
government.” :
He declared the entire constitu

“The bill of rlgihts is jeopard
ized,” Lowden asserted, ‘“if the
proposed amendment should pre
wvail.
“Upon this great issue, the Re
publican party must take the lead”.
Twice a candidate for the Re
public presidential nomination,
Lowden was regarded as the prin
cipal advisor of the “Grass Roots”
meeting. Last week when former
President Herbery Hoover confer
fed with Lowden on the latter’s
farm estate at Oregon, lIL, it was
announced both expected the 1936
presidential eampaign %o be waged
over a “constitution issue.”
